He worked with Edgar Thurston and contributed extensively to the Thurston set (Castes & Tribes) and also has writtenseveral books in his own right. This volume is probably the most comprehensive and extensive description of Syrian Christian culture, marriage practices, theology, the various schisms and so on.
